The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Official Alexander Kurtzman & Roberto Orci Thread

[Repulsor Blast]

Nah. Electro's powers are still new then.

There are 2 scenes. Not one.

we don't know either way yet

 

[Picard Sisko]

They wrote the 2 treks, I'd say they are in good hands...

And those 2 Trek movies were absolutely amazing IMO, especially Into Darkness.

This is what Andrew Garfield told Entertainment Weekly regarding the script:

I almost cried. Because I was like, ‘This is what we’ve needed and this is what we were missing a little bit in the first one.’ I just felt this warm rain of reassurance rushing through my soul. I was like, ‘Ok, we’re fine.’ If we mess up, it’s my fault now

Its important to take quotes like this with a grain of salt, considering the actors aren't going to bash the movie, even if it really is terrible. However, I do feel that Andrew Garfield is legitimately happy with what he read. I remember seeing interviews with the cast of Spider-Man 3 right before its release, and they all gave their opinions of the film. You could see something was not right.

This makes me want to cry:

Haha especially Franco when asked which scene was his favourite!

I don't know why but there's something about Topher Grace that I don't like haha! He's really funny in That 70's Show but in interviews, he seems almost scary to me haha.

Kirsten Dunst however, as miscast as she was, she seems like a very cool and honest person. If I remember correctly she openly said later on that she thought the film was bad and apologised for it or something.

Hmm... "I guess when Kirsten and I do the twist?" Franco clearly hated the movie. Same with Tobey and Kirsten. I think Topher Grace was a little bit more excited about being in a Spider-Man film, so it was hard to tell whether or not he enjoyed his first viewing of the movie.

I loved Eric Foreman on That 70s Show. However, I haven't really seen him in anything else that I really like.

Yeah! I think that was his first big blockbuster movie, so that's probably why.

By the way, I like Franco's honesty too. I actually like that he openly said he didn't enjoy TASM and thought it was a rehash, even though I don't agree with his opinion.

 

[amazingly atiba]

almost cried when tobey came out ahahahahah its a shame

I feel like Franco is a little pretentious, and is sort of a jerk in real life, but I guess I do appreciate his honesty. Sam Raimi seems to be a little bit more humble, and I'm glad he really liked TASM.

I agree about Raimi, he showed true class! I have mad respect for him! I hope he was completely honest too, seemed like it.

In that video, Maguire and Franco are just saying every single "preset" phrase they teach in Marketing 101. They don't have any idea of what to say when they're asked about their favorite scene.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

the thing they will truly deliver is the Spidey humor, mark my words

 

[SpideyFan866]

we don't know either way yet

Based on what reports we've heard and got from the Times Square shoot in April, where Max was stumbling through the crowd (in pain), I think its safe to say he has only had his powers for a short time.

yeah, i agree. but, that doesn't mean there won't be a fight scene then. electro could attack like a wounded animal, for example.

basically, i'm saying that him being in pain etc does not logically prevent a fight scene.

we don't know for certain whether or not there will be two scenes in times square. not saying you're wrong, just saying your certainty/deduction of two separate scenes is not justified.

not having a go, just yea

I think there will be an altercation between Spidey and Electro there, similar to TSSM where the 2 have an altercation after Electro inadvertently has an outburst, and spidey attacks him thinking he's a criminal.

In the movie, that leading to him being taken into Ravencroft/Oscorp custody.

And then later, we see them in Times Square again, when they have the first part of the final battle.

But I can see your point. However, based on the descriptions of him flying during their TS battle, I just don't think its likely its just one scene, considering he probably had barely used his powers in the scene we saw filmed in April.

sucks we have to wait so long to find out :P

After this weekend we'll get a good idea.

 

[Picard Sisko]

Just two more days for Spidey at SDCC!

 

[FN Spider-man]

Woot and today is going by fast

 

[Sawyer]

One of the things that makes me so much more excited for this one than it's predecessor is that it has the Fringe (Kurtzman/Orci were the creators, Pinkner was the showrunner for the first four seasons) team handling the writing side of things. That show blended science fiction, character drama and a sense of humor together so well, I can only hope the same holds true for this movie.

Agreed. So far they've done an excellent job with the Star Trek movies by capturing the spirit of the classic series and pretty much all of the characters, along with some cool sci-fi, drama, and action. Hope they do to Spider-Man what they did to Star Trek and breath fresh new air into the franchise.

 

[MrMaooz]

Yeah, the humor in the 2 Treks is pretty funny.

 

[Gianakin_]

Yeah, but the humor in TF2 was terrible. It depends on the director. I'd say the humor in TASM was bland, so I'm hoping Webb and the writer duo get it right this time.

I have repeated this many times, but I'll say it again. Transformers 2 was written during the writer's strike, so it suffered quite a lot.

If Orci and Kurtzman do for Spider-Man what they did for Star Trek, then the movie will be great.

Agreed. When I heard Orci and Kurtzman were doing it, I was excited and cautious at the same time.

But when I found out that they had the entire Fringe team and that Pinkner was on board as well, I felt a whole lot better.

They did great things with Fringe, IMO.

And like I said, I don't blame the writer duo. Every TF movie had terrible humor, so, again, it's mostly the director.
